Charleston's experienced lawyers defend you

These days, most lawyers in South Carolina don't try cases.  Even some very large firms have lawyers with no experience in jury trials.  Since 1963, the well-respected Charleston personal injury law firm of Grimball & Cabaniss has been dedicated to fighting for the rights and interests of individuals and small businesses, including regularly trying cases before juries and in state and federal appeals.  When Grimball & Cabaniss, LLC represents you, we never back down from a fight.  If a settlement is most advantageous to our client, we also have experience in settlement conferences called mediations.

Grimball & Cabaniss, LLC is a full service law firm representing individuals who need a South Carolina attorney to make claims or to sue.  We also represent small businesses that need lawyers to help them sue or to defend them. 

Our law firm practices in a number of areas including Charleston personal injury law, employment law, probate, and insurance bad faith matters.  Check out our entire list of practice areas. We provide personal, cost-effective, focused, and—when necessary—aggressive representation from initial consultation to final resolution of your important legal matters.  We also provide the latest South Carolina law news from our Charleston personal injury lawyers.
